Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is a fruit couverture?
A fruit couverture is a Valrhona innovation that replaces cocoa with powdered fruit. Composition: cocoa butter + sugar + fruit. It is worked exactly like white chocolate (melting, tempering, molding), but with the fruit's 100% natural flavor and color. No added colorants or flavorings.
How do you temper an Inspiration couverture?
The temperature curve is slightly lower than for classic white chocolate: melting 45-48 °C, crystallization 26-27 °C, working 28-29 °C. Important: keep stirring continuously while melting, as Inspiration couvertures have a thicker texture than traditional chocolate.
How long can I store my Inspiration creations?
Since Inspiration recipes are made with natural fruit (with no colorants or preservatives), they are more sensitive. Store your creations in the back of the shop at a maximum of 18 °C, away from light. Sell within 4 weeks maximum. Opaque packaging significantly extends shelf life.
Can you make whipped ganache with Inspiration?
Yes, absolutely. Inspiration fruit couvertures are perfect for whipped ganache thanks to their composition (cocoa butter + sugar + fruit). Follow a white chocolate whipped ganache recipe, simply replacing Ivoire with your Inspiration couverture. Rest for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator before whipping.
Why is the texture thicker than chocolate?
Fruit powder naturally contains fiber and pectin, which thicken the mixture. That’s why you need to stir continuously while melting and slightly adjust your recipes (for example, add a little more cream to ganaches).
